Laurel Park Race 1 - Race 1 - Starter Optional Claiming
LEAVE ME (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1609m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. KUHNER (9) wasn't far away last time out, finishing fourth over 1207m at Belmont Park (Synthetic) when he was handy all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Expected to run well. CAPITAINE (2) ran a bold race over this journey last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 1.5 lengths away in second at Delaware Park (Dirt). Worth noting D E Centeno goes aboard. Steps up a level but he is capable of another big run. BAND ON THE RUN (3) has been freshened up since she finished fifth over 1609m at this track (Turf) five-and-a-half weeks ago. Anticipating a better run today.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Delaware Park on October 15 over 1609m, 1.5 len behind Snookie Bear carrying 54kg at $3.50. Before that 2nd of 8 at Delaware Park Turf on August 28 over 1673m, on a slow track; 0.3 len behind Galatown Guy with 54kg at $4.50. Nicely drawn and should prove hard to beat.

Racing well recently. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at this track on October 3 over 1609m defeating Plenty On Tap with 56kg at $2.30. The run before that 4th of 9 at Colonial Downs Inner Turf on September 7 over 1609m, 2.5 len behind Fosroc carrying 54kg at $11.30. Scored a maiden win last time and is worth thought again.
